RUN4MANKIND 2022 – “Together we are #unstoppable”
MANKIND is a gifted with innate benevolence at birth. The ability to love fellow mankind is what sets us apart from other living creatures.
Helping others at times when they need help the most, forgetting our own self-interests and extending unconditional love to each and every living being on Earth are noble actions of mankind.
MANKIND is powerful, but only so if we put empathy into action. Mankind can help to prevent and alleviate human sufferings wherever it may be found.
“Being human is given. But keeping our mankind is a choice.”
For the first time, Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) Sarawak Chapter, Kuching Branch and Stampin Branch are collaborating as one to jointly organise the “RUN4MANKIND”.
